About Colour Me Rad

Colour Me Rad is a 5K run of colour bombardment. You’ll start off with a shirt as pure and white as your grandpa's dentures and you'll soak up enough colour while running to change your skin tone forever.  You'll wind up looking like a pack of skittles – just make sure not to “taste the rainbow.”

How it works:

Start out as clean as a newborn babe, and throughout the run, you'll coat your chaffing thighs with Colour Bombs of blue, green, pink, purple, and yellow until your face, shirt, and body come out silkscreened like a tie-dyed hippy on the other side.

Each section of the run adds a new explosion of colour to your clean, painter’s palate until you cross the finish line into a final blitzkrieg of colour.

What is the “colour” in Colour Me Rad?

You’re probably asking yourselves, “Is this really colour being thrown at us or are the rainbows we’re seeing just God’s signal that it’ll never flood again?”

Well I’m glad you asked. This isn’t just smoke and mirrors. This is non-toxic, non-rash-inducing, Kroger branded, coloured corn-starch. Subsidized by the government and processed in the good ol’ US of A, these blasts of starch will change your colour, and your demeanor, but never your level of wellness.
